Laravel Development

Laravel Development Company for Custom Platforms & Marketplaces

Laravel is the framework banks and SaaS platforms run on — not a theme, not a builder plugin. We've shipped marketplaces, commission engines, and admin systems on Laravel 12 for clients running real transaction volume, and every build gets the same security review we sell as a standalone audit.

Laravel development — application code for a custom platform

Laravel depth

What Laravel gets you that a builder can't

Six things every project on this stack gets by default — not an upsell, not a later phase.

Laravel 12, done right

The current LTS branch, hand-coded — service classes, form requests, policies, and job queues used the way the framework intends, not one 3,000-line controller.

Marketplaces & commission engines

Multi-vendor catalogs, vendor payouts, real-time commission splits, KYC gates — the transactional logic that breaks when a page-builder site tries to fake it.

Filament admin panels

Role-scoped back offices built on Filament — resource management, reporting, and approval workflows your team actually uses, not a generic dashboard theme.

Inertia + React front ends

SPA feel without a separate API layer to maintain — Inertia keeps Laravel as the single source of truth for auth, validation, and routing.

Business-critical systems

Result-management platforms, membership-commerce engines, booking systems — built on Laravel's queue, cache, and transaction handling for data that can't go wrong.

Security audited by default

Every custom build gets the same review we sell as a standalone Rescue Audit — authorization checked first, not patched in after launch.

Why Laravel

Built for anything that touches money, data, or logins

Laravel is the framework banks and SaaS platforms run on — not a theme, not a page-builder plugin, not a WordPress install with fifteen dependencies bolted on top. It ships with a mature ORM, a real queue system, first-class authorization policies, and a migration history you can audit line by line. That matters the moment a site stops being a brochure and starts holding logins, payments, or inventory.

A landing page doesn't need Laravel. A marketplace with vendor payouts, a member portal with role-based access, or an internal tool your operations team depends on every day does — and that's the class of project we build. See the full case for the platform end of this work on our custom web application development page.

Proof, not a claim

Laravel builds already running in production

Four platforms, four different Laravel problems. The full bench is on the work page.

Multi-vendor marketplace

Live in 9 weeks on Laravel 12: vendor onboarding, KYC gates, automated payouts, and an access-control model that keeps one vendor from ever seeing another vendor's orders.

Membership commerce with a commission engine

Laravel queues process every commission split the moment an order settles, with a full audit trail on every payout — the kind of financial logic that can't tolerate a race condition.

Result-management platform

Processes thousands of student records per exam cycle. Report generation and exports run on Laravel's queue system so the admin panel never blocks while a batch job runs.

B2B industrial catalog & quoting

A Laravel back end running a Lighthouse score of 98 — proof that authentication, RFQ logic, and a product catalog don't have to cost you front-end performance.

The real stack, not a buzzword list

Every tag below is something we shipped on a live project this year — nothing here is aspirational.

Laravel 12

Our default for anything needing auth, admin panels, or business logic that can't live in a page builder.

Filament 4 / 5

Role-scoped admin panels and back-office tools — resource management, reporting, approval workflows.

Livewire 4 + Inertia / React

Reactive UI without hand-rolling a separate API — picked per project based on complexity and team.

MySQL + Redis

Transactional data in MySQL, queues and caching in Redis — the pairing that scales past a single server.

Stripe / PayPal + regional rails

Payment integrations wired through Laravel's native HTTP client and signed webhooks, not a bolted-on plugin.

Tailwind CSS 4

Utility-first styling with our own design tokens on every admin panel and storefront — no admin-theme lock-in.

Security-first

The bug classes we audit for

These are the failures we find most often reviewing someone else's Laravel code — and the ones we check for before a build of ours ever ships. Need this run against a site you already have? See the Laravel Security Audit.

Broken authentication. Weak session handling, missing rate limits on login and password-reset endpoints.
IDOR (Insecure Direct Object Reference). A customer, vendor, or member reaching another account's data by changing an ID in the URL or request body.
Missing authorization policies. Routes protected by "logged in" but not "logged in as the right role" — a vendor editing another vendor's product.
Mass assignment. A field an attacker adds to a request silently updating a column it should never touch, like role or balance.
Unvalidated file uploads. An "upload receipt" field that accepts a PHP file instead of an image.
Exposed secrets & debug mode. .env keys, API tokens, or debug mode left reachable in production, handing an attacker a full stack trace.

Two ways in

Fixed-price project, or start with an audit

Both engagement models are fixed price. Neither is an open-ended hourly contract.

Fixed-price Laravel project

Scoped after a discovery call, quoted as one number, delivered against milestones you approve. Commerce (from $6,500) covers a custom Laravel storefront; Custom Platform (from $15,000) covers bespoke multi-role builds and includes a security audit before launch. If a company just needs a fast, self-editable site rather than custom business logic, our Business Pro package (from $2,950) — see the Manufacturing & B2B page — is usually the better fit than a full Laravel build.

Already have a Laravel site? Start with an audit

The Laravel Rescue Audit is fixed price (from $1,900) and turns around in 5 business days: a full codebase and dependency review, a scan for the bug classes above, a server-configuration check, and a prioritized report with a fixed-price quote for every finding. No open-ended hourly diagnosis.

FAQ

Laravel development — your questions

Versions, takeovers, staffing, and security — what buyers ask before committing to a build.

Which Laravel version do you build on, and how do you handle upgrades?

New projects start on Laravel 12, the current LTS branch. For an inherited codebase on Laravel 8, 9, or 10, we don't do a risky one-shot jump straight to 12 — we map the deprecated packages and breaking changes first, then upgrade one major version at a time with a manual regression pass after each step, so nothing silently breaks in production.

Can you take over an existing Laravel codebase someone else built?

Yes — this is a large share of our Laravel work. We start with a Rescue Audit (from $1,900, 5 business days): a full codebase, dependency, and security review that maps what's actually there and flags what's broken or unsafe, before we touch production. You get a fixed-price plan from the findings, not a blind "we'll figure it out as we go."

Do you staff a Laravel developer to our team, or only take on whole projects?

Whole projects, fixed price — not hourly staff augmentation. We scope the build, quote a fixed number, and deliver against milestones you approve, and you own 100% of the code and repository when it's done. If what you actually need is a contractor embedded in your team's sprint process, that's a different engagement model than the one we sell.

Why Laravel instead of a no-code platform or a WordPress site?

A no-code builder or WordPress theme is a fine choice for a brochure site. The moment you need role-based logins, a commission engine, inventory that has to stay consistent under concurrent orders, or an audit trail on every change, you need real application code and a framework built for exactly that — which is why it's the framework banks and SaaS platforms run on, not a drag-and-drop builder.

How do you handle authentication and access control?

Laravel's own session or Sanctum-based auth, plus an explicit authorization policy class for every model. A vendor, member, or admin route is checked against the specific resource being requested, not just "is this user logged in" — that gap between authentication and authorization is exactly where IDOR bugs live, and it's the first thing we test for on every audit.

Will I own the code, or is it locked to your team?

100% ownership, no proprietary runtime, no per-seat license. You get a clean Git repository, environment setup docs, and a deployment guide on handover, and any competent Laravel developer can pick it up cold. Whether you keep us on for ongoing work or bring it fully in-house afterward is entirely your call.
